It's simple, though. Viper and Madame Hydra won't be the same character in the movie universe(s).

Both of the characters will be made different enough so that there is no confusion.

So you want to split Viper and Madame Hydra into two characters and put them into different movies? That sounds pointless at best and horribly confusing at worst. What would be the difference between Viper and Madame Hydra anyway, if its the same character twice with a different name, it seems really pointless to split the two.

Who would be confused? Definitely not anyone in the GA, especially for such an obscure character to start with. It won't be the same character in the MCU and Fox Universes. However pointless you may think it is, it's the easiest route to go unless the two studios somehow see eye-to-eye and choose to have her character be in both movies.

And I'm not saying what I want, I'm saying what the most logical outcome out of this situation will be.

Yeah, I don't see the confusion at all. In fact, Wolverine's version of Viper doesn't even resemble the actual comic book character. If Marvel Studios chooses to do a Madam Hydra character, she'll most likely have her iconic green hair look.

This.

That assuming Marvel bothers to use Madame Hydra, considering Red Skull is the leader of Hydra in the movies and he has almost nothing to do with them in the comics, they could have a bunch of characters who have nothing to do Hydra in the comics be Hydra agents in the movies. That makes more sense then trying to split Viper/Madame Hydra into two characters and put them in different movies. What would be the difference between Viper and Madame Hydra? It just seems silly to try to present her as two different characters and put her in two different movies.

So the characters would be the same, but their hair color would different. How would their personalities be different, you are just taking about minor ascetics differences, not actual different characters. Heck, Viper is wearing a green body suit, so what would Madame Hydra wear? Plus green hair may not even look in live action.

Viper is (seemingly) a snakelike mutant, has blonde hair, uses toxins, is not connected to Hydra at all.

Madame Hydra will not be a mutant, will have black or green hair, won't use toxins, and will be connected to Hydra, also she will have never met Wolverine and will be connected to Cap's world instead.

Kate Beckinsale is the best choice to play Madame Hydra if the studio wanted to bring her in she'd not only be a great villain for Chris Evans Captain America but she'd be a great foe for Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow to square off against!

Pulling up a year old thread to make your first post? Just reeks of a troll.

Just seems like a very random thing to post about when there's a lot more current news coming out.

I agree. but maybe the reasons for that are more personal for the poster? maybe the poster is a fan of Beckinsale and just wants her to join the MCU, thought hard about it and came to the conclusion that Hydra would be the best choice for him, then wanted to share his thoughts. Or the poster is obsessed with the character Madame Hydra and wants to see her done justice in the movies. I've seen weirder stuff on this boards.
But I wouldn't call it trolling. Thread necromancy, maybe. But trolling? No.
Trolling would be me going to the MoS boards and sharing my opinion on this... film.

I was one of the few who seemed to like Viper in that movie. I thought that she was entertaining and them making her a Mutant didn't bother me (neither did them making Yukio a Mutant for that matter). What I didn't get is why they had Viper, who is Eastern European in the comics, and cast a Russian actress to play her, and then made her an American and had the actress do an American accent. That was puzzling to me. Anyway, I'd love to see Madame Hydra in the MCU, perhaps as Baron von Strucker's second in command. As others have said, it'd be pretty easy to differentiate her from Fox's Viper so that's not really an issue. Personally, I'd like to see Antje Traue play her.
